JP interviews [pre-6.5]

Relic isn't just for raiding. It's about the effort to gain something special. A special shiny weapon!

It's more important for glamour then for the stats. Most raiders are loooong done with the raidtier, when the final relic is available.

The old relics are not 'hard' to get. You don't have to do something 'hard'. But you have to put effort into it. And so it feels rewarding in the end. The EW relics feel just meaningless. :/

I do agree with this, I haven't gotten the EW one yet because I'm still working on the other relics. I wish people would stop gatekeeping. I'm not a raider and I see the frustration they have but at the end of the day we all pay the same sub. I don't mind having to work to get a relic grind or not. It does feel sweeter when you work towards it. I also understand the need of this or any other MMO attracting the mobile game crowd too there is $$ to be made there. So where is the middle ground?

A somewhat shorter grind or no grind after the first relic obtained. Devs have a really bad habit of just removing or abandoning content instead of adjusting in smaller increments. They step right over the middle ground every time.
